He later saw the same man take another young girl into the bushes. He told his dad and the lifeguards and they caught the man trying to molest the young girl and also video taping the whole thing. Turns out the guy was convicted sex offender with a 40 year record. SICK! The bright and observant young boy should be commended!!!

And, if it makes you feel any worse, it's probably going on within a few miles of wherever any reader is right now.

I'm pretty open minded but not with this, I see the after math. Spirit you couldn't be more right. It's everywhere and by someone you know and would never suspect. We all need to take a page from this young mans book. Keep your eyes and ears open and be an advocate.

Originally Posted By NYthrillseeker <If I were that girl's mom there is nothing I could ever do for that boy that could pay him back for saving her from that.> Obviously the boy's mother would be extremely grateful that the boy was bright and observant enough to realize what was happening. I wasn't there so I don't want to make any accusations, but if your daughter is being led away from the pool by a perverted man, where are you??? When I am ANYWHERE with my son, I keep an eye on him AT ALL TIMES. ESPECIALLY in public places. I'm not saying she's a bad mother or anything, probably tanning with her eyes closed or something. I just think these things could be avoided if parents kept better eyes on their children.

As someone said earlier, child predators gravitate towards places with children. When we took my nephew to WDW last year, we knew where he was at all times. If I didn't see him, I panicked. I can't imagine letting a young child run free at a theme park. It's just not safe.
